DVPW-Kongress 2027 (30. Wissenschaftliche Kongress der DVPW)
**DVPW-Kongress 2027** is the 30th scientific congress of the German Political Science Association, held in Leipzig, Germany from September 7–10, 2027. Participants present and discuss research findings, engage with current developments in political science, and network with scholars and professionals in the field. The congress provides a forum for the exchange of academic work and disciplinary dialogue across subfields of political science.
Why it matters
For students and delegates interested in political science and academic conference spaces, this congress offers a chance to engage with a major professional gathering in person. Being held over four days in Leipzig, it provides a defined window to follow discussions, present interests, and connect with the wider field.
Because it is a professional-format event, attendees can use it to better understand how large disciplinary congresses are structured and what themes are shaping academic conversations. Even without listed committees here, it is a useful opportunity to observe and participate in a formal conference environment.
How to prepare
Start by reviewing the conference website and identifying any published panels, sections, or program updates as they become available. Since committees are not listed here, focus your preparation on the broader field of political science and on the specific subtopics you are most likely to encounter or want to explore.
It also helps to prepare a short personal introduction, clear questions for speakers or panelists, and concise summaries of your own academic interests. If you are attending to network, bring an updated CV and be ready to discuss your research interests, coursework, or professional goals in a professional setting.
